Re: Check transmission mount bolts / trike
Went for a ride today and had horrible vibration when shutting of the gas. Bugger I though what now. Turned around and got it in the workshop for a good look.
Barry, look what I found. Should have checked sooner.
Thanks for the pointer and a lesson for all trike owners. Seems it may be a common problem

I’ll say. The symptoms were horrible . Terrible vibration shutting the gas off at speed. The guy who sent you the photo. Was he just checking it over or had the same fault been reported to him ?CanuckHoss wrote:Lucky hey.knockdolian wrote:Went for a ride today and had horrible vibration when shutting of the gas.

He had just bought it from another customer and was going through it all before riding as it sat for a couple years.knockdolian wrote:I’ll say. The symptoms were horrible .

Re: Check transmission mount bolts / trike
Well I now no from experience, losing both bolts would have made it unridable which does make me wonder if that was why it was sold ??
